minimalist superstitious regret blog of the day

i don't care much for football. played it for four years because i didn't know any better.
i went to the university of texas, four years undergrad, three years in law school, so, yeah, i'm a ut fan as much as i'm a fan of any college program. it's all relative.
i watched four moments of the rose bowl today. i watched the first two possessions, saw cedric benson get hurt.
i got home from running errands, the score is texas 14, michigan 7, michigan just failed to make a first down, so they have to punt. i fear the jinx i seem to put on ut football teams. but then, in this time of more positive thinking, i decide to kill off the jinx.
the punt is up, the ut receiver drops it. michigan recovers. i change channels.
check back minutes later, in time to see a michigan touchdown to tie the game. change the channel.
i just now turned it on - i haven't done too much damage this time! ut is up, 21 to 14! the first play (one damned play) i watch... michigan touchdown.
makes me wish i had been for bush.
i'm going to go rent some movies.
